Ball Diamond

The negative is a recently processed sheet of Kodak T-Max 100.  This one was actually from a Readyload Film Pack.  Sadly these are no longer made by Kodak, or the Quickload version by Fuji.  It was a preloaded sheet of film in a paper sleeve, that fit into a special holder.  It made carrying a large format camera outfit easier as you could take one film holder and a bunch of these envelopes, significantly lightening the load.  The film was always dust free, so it had that advantage as well.  I have a few dozen of these left in both T-Max 100 and Neopan Acros.  They are significantly outdated, but I save them for when I go on longer hikes, or extended road trips.
I found this overgrown baseball diamond in a small town in southern Saskatchewan last fall.  I shot it with the intention of considering it for the Apparitions project.  
I took this shot on September 19th 2024, at about 2:00 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony view camera and a 125mm lens.  A #22 Orange Filter boosted contrast without as harsh an effect as the #25 Red that I more typically use.  The exposure was for 1/15 second at F18.0.
